Review by Paul Crowe (Henfield Joggers)
I tested the top, shorts and undershorts in size medium. I have worn the gear running in the gym on a treadmill, running outside in warm conditions in Fuerteventura, and also around the trails here in West Sussex in the middle of our wet winter. Throughout I have been impressed with the fit, which for me has been perfect. In all these conditions I have been comfortable and the undershorts have performed well. The shorts are roomy enough to feel comfortable and I like the fact that there is a rear zipped pocket that will hold my phone when out. Wicking and moisture control worked effectively even in warm conditions, and all items have been washed multiple times in the washing machine with no special treatment and come through with no issues. I think this is a nice set of kit, good quality and effective, and it also looks good. I'd be happy to go and buy more of the kit, and I hope the range is extended into winter running wear (long tights, long sleeved tops etc.) for next year!
